The planned stores are the latest attempt by Rovio to capitalise on the Angry Bird phenomenon, which included a number of fake Angry Birds novelties and even an Angry Birds Android tablet. The company have recently opened an office in Shanghai and, earlier in the year formed a cooperation with a Chinese theme park which had made an unofficial (unlicensed) real life Angry Birds game.
